Thanks to Reiza joining the team, I could finally focus entirely on supporting Royza's new branch. We spent every spare moment refining operations, trying to make the café run as smoothly as possible—even if Royza had to handle it mostly alone.
"Let's pre-make as many crepes as we can," I suggested. "They still taste great even when they cool down a bit."
"Yes, but they don't keep for long. If we have leftovers…"
"We'll just have to adjust daily based on sales. Still, we're averaging around 200 crepes a day, right?"
Because take-out was so popular, the numbers were insane—roughly one crepe sold every three minutes. There was simply no time to cook each one to order.
"If we just wrap and hand them over, it's fast."
"Exactly."
"Let's create a dedicated take-out window so the main counter doesn't get clogged."
We fine-tuned the layout little by little while brainstorming. The goal was a better flow for everyone. As long as the crepe craze continued, expanding the rest of the menu would be impossible.
"I really want to offer more pastries that pair well with the red tea," Royza said earnestly.
"Pastries sound perfect. The key is focusing on items that only need assembly or quick finishing—no complicated cooking during peak hours."
Royza listened intently, tail swishing with determination. She truly was an incredible asset—talented, hardworking, and passionate.
Then there was her little sister, Reiza.
I had grown genuinely fond of the foul-mouthed dark-elf. She threw herself into the main shop with explosive energy.
"I know you've been working hard for my sister's sake! I won't let you down—leave the main shop to me!"
She respected soba from the bottom of her heart.
"This is seriously delicious! I want to learn how to make it too!"
She actively experimented in the kitchen, absorbing techniques instantly and adding her own flair. While Royza focused on elegant, female-oriented creations, Reiza thrived on energizing the existing rowdy crowd—making them laugh, drink more, and feel at home.
"Even someone as crude as me gets accepted here… I'm so grateful to you and the regulars!"
Reiza came from a respectable elf lineage too, but her darker skin marked her as "inferior" in the eyes of pure-blooded elves. She had spent years lashing out in retaliation—fighting, swearing, causing trouble—until she ended up drifting like a vagabond. Royza had tracked her down and brought her here.
At first I worried her attitude was too rough for service work, but she fit the main shop like a glove.
"Reiza-chan! Come on, drink up!"
"Ahahaha! No matter how much you pour, I'm keeping perfect track of your tab!!"
The customers roared with laughter. Reiza loved alcohol and could drink endlessly. The more she drank, the sexier and more flushed she became, which only encouraged the regulars to keep buying rounds.
"Looking hot tonight! Take it off!"
"I'm not stripping, you perv!"
Her sharp comebacks turned potential harassment into comedy. Sales of fruit wine doubled. The male customers who had missed the beautiful half-elf ladies were now completely smitten with Reiza's lively presence.
Unlike Royza and Merry-chan, who firmly rebuffed unwanted advances, Reiza handled it with humor.
"Alright, whoever just grabbed my ass—stick your own ass out! I'll let Grandma Avael grope you instead!"
Grandma Avael, a regular old lady who loved drinking and younger men, would cackle, "Which boy wants his butt rubbed by me~?"
The whole shop would erupt in laughter. She turned sexual harassment into entertainment.
I still warned Reiza privately, "If anything ever makes you genuinely uncomfortable, tell them no. If a customer gets angry, I'll handle it. Even if we lose business, it's fine."
She smiled brightly. "That's exactly why my sister enjoys working here. Thank you. I'm having fun too. If it ever gets really bad, I'll tell you right away. This job is genuinely enjoyable."
With both Royza sisters supporting the business, everything felt stable and promising.
Then Royza messed up.
I was in the middle of prep work in the kitchen when Merry-chan came rushing in with a worried look.
"Um… Royza-san is… probably doing it again."
A bad feeling hit me. I glanced out the window.
Sure enough, Royza was actively approaching a female customer, leaning in far too close, speaking with obvious intent. The woman looked visibly uncomfortable.
"I'll go stop her."
"…Please do."
My hands were covered in flour, so Merry-chan went first. A few minutes later she returned, sighing.
"She asked me to keep quiet about it."
"I literally saw it with my own eyes."
"When I told her that, she turned pale."
What now?
I couldn't exactly tell her "don't sleep with customers" when I was guilty of the same thing. But actively making patrons uncomfortable was a different problem.
"Merry-chan, how is same-sex love viewed in this world?"
"…Honestly? If someone killed you for it, you wouldn't even have the right to complain."
That serious? Human life was cheap here, and rights were almost nonexistent.
"…Then I'll have to punish her."
Royza was trembling when I found her in her private room.
"I'm… sorry."
"I told you not to do it again…"
No response at first.
"…It was impulsive. I just… spoke without thinking."
I suspected Royza was something of an artistic genius—brilliant but with an unconventional mind.
"Honestly, this is becoming a real problem."
"…Yes."
"I said I'd 'rape' you if you did it again. Was that threat not scary enough?"
"No… I'm shaking right now."
The threat had worked, yet she still slipped. In that case…
"I'll make your body remember."
I tied her slender wrists behind her back with soft rope. No aphrodisiac—this punishment was meant to instill genuine discomfort and aversion.
"I'm really grateful to you, Royza. Doing something like this to you feels awful, but…"
"N-no! It's my fault! You trusted me so much, gave me my own store, even warned me…"
She looked down, ashamed.
"But that line is important. If a customer approaches you, fine. But you cannot make customers feel uncomfortable by approaching them first."
"Yes…"
"So remember this feeling of disgust. Let it stop you from ever doing it again."
I pulled down her panties, intending to begin the unpleasant lesson.
"…Why are you so wet?"
The question slipped out naturally.
Her slit was glistening, slick with arousal. The fabric was soaked.
"You said you were completely uninterested in men, right?"
"T-that's right!"
"Then why is your pussy dripping like this?"
I slid one finger along her folds.
'Bunyuu~'
"Uwaah!"
"Hyaah!"
Holy shit. Her pussy was incredible.
Even with just one finger, the soft, plump walls squeezed and rippled with mind-blowing intensity—hot, wet, and greedy.
If one finger felt this good, what would my cock do?
Beneath the neatly trimmed patch of silver hair, her pussy lips twitched and squirmed as if begging to be filled.
It was unbearably erotic.
"Wait… is Royza's pussy actually an insane quality magic pussy?"
"It's clamping down so hard…"
"I-I don't know!"
Her reactions were straight out of a porno.
"No way you hate this when you're this soaked!"
I leaned down and gave her a long, slow lick.
Apparently, men rarely performed oral on women in this world. Royza's entire body jerked violently.
"Ooooooh!!!! Nooo!! Don't lick me there!!"
She came instantly—just from my tongue.
"…You came from cunnilingus alone?"
Her face was bright red.
What kind of insane sensitivity did she have?
"You said looking at my face did nothing for you."
"Y-yes…"
"Then what is this?"
I slid two fingers inside.
"Ooooooh!!!! Nooo♡♡♡ That's bad♡♡♡"
Her hips bucked wildly as she climaxed again.
"You've been holding back a lot of frustration, haven't you?"
"..."
Her cheeks burned crimson.
So all the sudden customer-napping wasn't because she was a pure lesbian—it was the result of months of sexual frustration building up while living surrounded by constant sex.
She hadn't done this when she first arrived. Only after gaining independence and no longer having me right next door to keep things in check had she snapped.
"In the end… it's all my fault, isn't it?"
Sorry, Royza.
And since it was my fault…
"I understand I'm completely to blame. So, as an apology, let me take responsibility and have sex with you."
Let's relieve all that pent-up frustration.
"W-wait! I don't understand the logic!"
The logic was simple: her pussy felt too good to ignore.
"I'm putting it in."
For good measure, I applied a light coating of aphrodisiac oil.
The original punishment plan was abandoned. Now the goal was to satisfy her completely so the frustration wouldn't build up again. She could keep liking women—that was fine. She just didn't need to suffer anymore.
"Funyaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!"
The moment I pushed my thick cock inside, her walls welcomed me with crushing, rippling pressure.
"Amazing…!!"
It was unreal. The tightness, the heat, the way every fold seemed to massage and suck me deeper—Merry-chan's incredible pussy couldn't compare. There was even the distinct sensation of tearing through something thin.
"You were a virgin…?"
"U-nyaaaaah♡♡♡"
Thanks to the aphrodisiac, pain barely registered. Instead, pleasure flooded her instantly.
"No way♡ I gave my virginity to the shop owner♡ Even though I hate men♡ I gave my first time to a playboy who sleeps with every woman he sees♡"
"Playboy, huh? In my old world we call that a 'yarichin'—a fuckboy."
"Yarichin♡ I gave my virginity to a yarichin♡ Even though men are supposed to be gross♡"
All the while, her pussy continued to wriggle and squeeze greedily around me.
"You say you're not enjoying it, but your cunt is sucking me so hard."
I started moving—slow, deep thrusts that made her whole body jolt.
"Fwaaaaaah♡♡♡ I'm not enjoying it♡ Not at all♡♡♡"
Her mouth said one thing, but her pussy clamped down even tighter, rippling in rhythmic waves.
"You want me to cum inside that badly? Fine. But you'd better handle contraception yourself."
"Nooo♡♡♡ Don't cum inside♡♡♡ I'll turn into your convenient cum-dump♡♡♡ Please don't cum inside me♡♡♡"
"You like women, right?"
"Y-yes♡ I like women♡"
"Yet you lose instantly to cock."
I picked up speed.
"Foooooh!!!! I'm losing♡ I'm losing to cock♡ Don't move so much♡♡♡"
"Then I'll fill this defeated pussy with semen. If this doesn't teach you a lesson, nothing will."
"Nooo!!! Inside is bad♡♡♡ If you fill me with cum—"
"I'm cumming."
I slammed in deep and unleashed everything.
'DOKUHHH!! DYUPUU!!'
An unbelievable volume of thick, hot semen blasted straight into her womb.
"I'm cumming—!!!!"
Royza's slender body thrashed wildly, back arching, hips jerking as orgasm after orgasm tore through her.
"…Ah… aah♡♡♡ I lost♡♡♡ I completely lost to your cock♡♡♡"
Thick white cum overflowed from her freshly deflowered pussy as she gasped for air.
"I… I won't resist anymore♡ I won't go against this cock ever again♡"
Without a word, I brought my still-hard, cum-smeared cock to her lips.
Royza didn't hesitate. She opened her mouth obediently and began licking and sucking me clean with soft, devoted strokes.
"Nnnn♡♡♡"
---
I had only meant to punish her.
Instead, I had awakened something far more dangerous inside the talented, beautiful half-elf who ran my second store.
And I had a feeling this was only the beginning.
